What is the Actual Journals value displaying on my HCP001 report run for Total Compensation account for my Forecast or Actual scenarios?

Employee Benefits do not actualize at the employee level in BFS. They are consolidated by chartstring.

When the HCP001 report is run for the Forecast Working for Total Compensation it includes actualized closed months and planned future months. The Actual Journals amounts represent the actualized consolidated employee benefits (Fringe accounts, GAEL, and other accounts that are transacted in BFS at the DeptID level) for the closed months. The Actual Journals may also display when running the HCP001 report for the Actual Final scenario version.
